Summer Reading Group

 

Disciples Women have a perfect solution for these hot days of summer!  All you have to do is read a good book and then come to discuss it with a dedicated group of our women!  On Tuesday, July 14, at 7:00 pm at the church, the discussion will center on the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.  There will be light refreshments and a rousing good time for all who attend.

Music Notes

 

All choirs are on summer break!  Only four Sunday specials remain unfilled for the summer, so call Laura Young if you want to fill one of the spots!

 

Men’s Church Golf League

 

Cottonwood Creek Golf Club at Los Rios welcomes all DCC men to share your faith in Christ with other Christians during their Church Golf League on Monday nights for eight weeks this summer beginning July 31.  The format is 4-man scramble and you do not need the same four players each week.  As long as you have four players to represent your church, your score will be counted.  Each round will be nine holes starting at 6:00 p.m. 

 

Cost is $50 per team, per week ($12.50/round, per person).  It is a great way to get some exercise, meet other active Christians, improve your game and spread your love of Christ.  For more information or to register your team, call Matt Evans at 469-878-0689 or the golf shop at 972-424-8913.

 

Relief Nursery

By Laura Young

 

The Relief Nursery of Collin County Board of Directors invites you to the first annual Plano Fun Ride on Saturday, August 1st!   Check in begins at Oak Point Park at 6:30 a.m., and the ride begins at 9 a.m.  Proceeds will benefit the Relief Nursery of Collin County and the Plano Children's Medical Clinic.  The day will include a five or ten mile bike ride, a bicycle rodeo for young children, many perks from our sponsors (including massage therapy at one of the rest stops), free bike etching from the Plano Police Department and free T-shirts for the first 100 early registrants.  In addition, the Plano Early Lions Club will be collecting donated eyeglasses.  For more information, please go to PlanoFunRide.org.  We hope to see you there!

 

Even though there won’t be VBS …

 

You are invited to come rock at "Crocodile Dock!"  Due to many factors, we have decided to join forces with FCC Plano this year, and they have graciously agreed to accommodate DCC and FCCC kids (preschool through grade 5).  Their Crocodile Dock VBS will take place August 3-7, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm.  Laura Young will be co-leading the opening and closing groups, so there will be at least one familiar face.  Other DCC members have offered their time as well.  Kids should wear clothes that are suitable for craft projects and active games.  Drop-off is between 6:15 and 6:30 pm at the FCC chapel (east end of the building, which is located at 813 E. 15th street).  Pick-up time is at 9 p.m. sharp.  Parents are welcome to come a bit early and enjoy the closing music.

 

Please register your children and grandchildren through the FCC website as soon as possible.

 

To register:

Go to fccplano.org and click "VBS 2009" at the top right of the page.

At the next page, under the Crocodile Dock logo, please click "participant registration" to fill out the forms required.  You can contact Shannon Grubbs with questions at 972-423-3260.

 

Come "rock the dock" with us! Thank you!
